Opera Bar opened in late 2001 and since then has justly established itself as one of Sydney’s premier live music venues. It is Sydney’s own open-air version of Paris’ Café Costes or Ibiza’s Café Del Mar with a skilful blend of home grown musical talent set against the backdrop of the world’s most beautiful harbour. Now, the essence of this iconic bar has been captured on a 14 track CD, Opera Bar Live. Opera Bar’s music policy is centred on an upbeat yet restrained ambience: beautiful, warm vibes that stimulate whilst complementing the overall experience and the unrivalled location. The message at Opera Bar is good groove and good times all the way to the water’s edge. This philosophy has now been encapsulated by an inimitable collection of original tracks performed by Sydney’s finest musicians. Hand picked for their passion and dedication to the local music scene, they perform original tracks with panache and a quiet confidence so reminiscent of the venue itself. This is not your usual tourist fare and certainly not a souvenir CD. This is a serious anthology of the raw musical talent on display at Opera Bar seven nights a week. It is through this devotion to local musicians and accessible live music that this CD is born. We are proud to showcase the best of the best. If you can’t make it to Opera Bar on any night of the week then this CD is the next best thing! The launch of this release will be celebrated throughout SEPTEMBER. Featured artists will perform nightly at Opera Bar, displaying the talent and flair that led to their rightful inclusion on Opera Bar Live. The CD and the September Live showcase, will be marketed throughout Sydney and beyond in various forms.
